Beevital Aziatische hoornaar val. 
Velutina Val
Protecting Your Bee Colonies.
 
Velutina (Asian hornets), attracted by the attractant, move towards the light and are caught in the collection containers. When using for the first time, fill the container a little more than half full with the attractant.
Insects, bees and others can easily get out through the small holes on the bottom or sides of the trap.
The insects never come into contact with the attractant (important for the hygienic aspect, depending on the attractant).
The hornets stay alive for a certain time and attract other hornets with their pheromones!

  • When using for the first time, fill the container a little more than half full with the attractant.

  • Instructions for use for the Velutina Trap:

     

    1. Assemble the trap according to the instructions provided.

    2. Pour the attractant into the trap by wetting the white lines next to the holes.

    3. Fill for the first use the attractant up to half of the container (about 400 ML). The hornets are enticed by the liquid attractant, entering through the small holes and traveling along the container. They are then locked in the collection rooms. The captured hornet pheromones serve to attract other hornets.

    4. Place the trap strategically in the hornet's flight paths, preferably in shady areas to the left and right of your beehives, or hanging from a tree branch. Do not expose the trap to direct sunlight.

    5. Fill the attractant regularly to maintain the effectiveness of the trap. Just pour it into the holes next to the white sticks. Use a modest amount of fluid for topping up and ensure that the container remains approximately half full, especially at high temperatures. Empty completely and refill when the attractant noticeably degrades and fails to attract hornets.

     

    Additional guidelines:

     

    - When you fill the attractant into the trap, hold the cord, press the latch and lift the roof to access the container.

    - Follow the instructions for mounting and separating the collection trays supplied instructions. To separate the drain pans, turn them about 30 degrees to the left or right and remove them carefully, as hornets may come out of the holes.

    - Place the trap near your apiary, but avoid locations where the internal temperature of the collector is high as this will affect the performance of the trap can influence. Choose shady areas to the left and right of the apiary and be sure to hang the trap along the hornet's flight paths.

     

    Follow these instructions to use the Velutina Trap effectively and protect your bee colonies from hornet infestations.
